Visiting Springfield


Last Wednesday, I spent the day in Springfield lobbying our local legislators regarding issues important to our school district. I was part of a group of 12 school delegates from DuPage County.

During the day we met with Senators Dillard and Sandack, as well as Representatives Bellock, Pihos, Chapa LaVia, Coladipietro and Fortner. We were able to discuss school funding issues, especially proposed cuts to transportation funding, Bilingual Education and the Chicago Block Grant, Drivers Education fees and School Consolidation. The highlight of the day was a 30-minute meeting to discuss FY 2012 budgets and pension issues with House Minority Leader, Tom Cross. It was a busy but productive day!
